[Leica] New Images

[r.s.taylor at comcast.net (Richard S. Taylor)]

Neil - Having gone to the Fair at least a dozen times during it's 
stay at Flushing Meadows, I really enjoyed this nostalgic walk 
through the old fairgrounds.  It's one on a number of places I've 
been carrying on my mental list of sites I'd like to revisit on one 
or another of my trips to NYC.  Now I'm not so sure.  I'm really 
surprised at the desolation in your photos.  I had believed it was 
now a vital part of New York's park system.

I really like the warm tone you used.  Thanks for posting them and 
sorry they didn't get published.
